Lieutenant Madison Marsh is a 25th century female Centauran Starfleet Officer. She currently serves as the Mission Specialist aboard Starbase 118 Ops and the USS Narendra.
Background
Early Life
Madison Nova Marsh was born to Ora'ssam Sareu and Iris Marsh in 2374 in Tarola'n, the capital city of Alpha Centauri IV or as the Centaurans refer to their homeworld as Velestus. Her parents were brought together to fulfill a Centauran breeding plan that helped ensure that their population was diversified, which was common practice within Centauran culture. Her mother Iris was an associate professor at the UNLV and naturally resided in Las Vegas, Nevada, Earth. She named her daughter 'Madison' after a human mentor of hers from the distant past. Her father was an artist that designed holodecks on Alpha Centauri and traveled the stars more often than not. Madison spent the first five years of her life being raised in a crèche on Velestus which was a common practice for Centauran children. Her father was not interested in raising her, but her mother was and decided to bring Madison to Earth with her to raise her there.
While in secondary school, Madison was on the Nevada State High School Women’s swimming team and lettered for all four years. She set individual school records in both Freestyle and Butterfly strokes. As a Junior she was named the captain of her team and together they won the state championship during her Junior and Senior years. All of her medals are stored in her Mother's home on Earth. After graduation, she opted to join Starfleet Academy in 2392 due to her desire to travel the stars which likely was inherited from her father. For extracurricular activities, she continued her athletic lifestyle and fulfilled her passion for sports competition as a member of the Decathlon and Swimming teams respectively. While at the Academy, she double majored in Science and Counseling. For her Science degree she specialized in Exobiology, Cell Biology, Microbiology, and Genetics. Madison chose Counseling as her second major because she has the desire to help others with the issues they face and to utilize what she considers a special gift. A small percentage of Centaurans were capable of utilizing telepathic and empathic abilities. Although she does not openly reveal to others that she is an empath with limited telepathic ability, she did test for it. She is considered an Empath level 3 meaning that she can sense the emotions of a being with a two-lobed brain through making physical contact. Her level 1 telepathic ability is limited to communication through making physical contact with other Centaurans. She utilizes her gift of empathy when assisting her patients with medicine or counseling to ensure that they feel understood and supported. After graduating Starfleet Academy in 2397, she was accepted by the Starfleet Medical Academy. She is still ultimately deciding on what her field of study will be, but that will come through experience as a Medical Doctor in Starfleet. She graduated from Starfleet Medical Academy in the year 2400 and was assigned as a medical officer to Starbase 118 Operations and the USS Narendra.

Karen and Madison hit off their friendship quickly after a promising first counseling session when Madison had officially joined the crew of Starbase 118 Operations. Despite being different species, Karen being part Betazoid and Human and Madison a Centauran, they resemble one another remarkably. They call each other sisters because of their resemblance and the bond that they have forged with one another over time. Karen is the older sister that Madison never had and has helped her grow early in her Starfleet career. On a mission together, they helped outsmart and neutralize a station wide threat from a sentient being living within the computer system. They worked well together due to their chemistry and problem solving techniques. When stationed together the two would go out shopping together regularly and traveled to Betazed on a shore leave. Karen was eventually re-assigned to the USS Butler, but the two continue to remain in touch with one another. |
